簡介 Highlights

早期嘅華裔移民大多數都聚居喺唐人街。呢啲以華人為主嘅社區形成咗單一族裔自給自足嘅商貿網絡同社交生活圈子。去到1980至1990年代，第三波香港移民對本地嘅影響更加顯然易見。 雖然之後香港移民減少咗，但係佢對大溫地區嘅社區同城市發展嘅影響依然隨處可見。

學者都會用「推」力同「拉」力嚟分類人口遷徙嘅因素。咁又係乜嘢原因，令到咁多人由香港嚟到加拿大唔同嘅城市呢？以往移民有啲落地生根，有啲回流香港繼續搵錢，各行各路。而近期過嚟嘅香港人會唔會成為本地香港社群嘅新力軍呢？透過「救生艇」計劃嚟嘅新朋友又會對本地社區同城市嘅發展有乜嘢影響呢？

想知多啲？誠意邀請你嚟參觀我哋嘅「在加拿大移民歷史中的香港移民潮」展覽。

In the early days, most of the Chinese immigrants settled in Chinatown. Emerged from these predominantly Chinese communities were self-sustaining single ethnocultural business and social networks. In the 1980s and 1990s, the influence of the third wave of Hong Kong immigrants on the local community became more noticeable. Although the number of Hong Kong immigrants dropped later, their impact on the communities and urban development in Metro Vancouver is still seen everywhere.

Scholars often use “push” and “pull” factors to categorize the reasons for migration. What are the reasons that have motivated so many people moving from Hong Kong to different cities in Canada? In the past, some immigrants settled in Canada, some returned to Hong Kong to make a living—each of the individuals and families were making their choices and deciding on their own paths. Will the recent influx of Hong Kongers become the new blood in the local Hong Kong community? What impact will our new friends coming through "lifeboat" Hong Kong Pathway bring to the local community and urban development?
